This was a year that design collaborations went super-stellar. Music legends Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre turned to canned drinks, with designer Ini Archibong, while singer-songwriter Solange Knowles created glamorous new glassware with Saint Heron, Barbie released furniture with Kartell, and former NFL star Michael Bennett created lighting with Gantri. The interest these well-known names bring to the design world goes beyond celebrity stardust; each project featured here is a case study in bringing a fresh perspective to a brief with an alternative view developed from adjacent industry experience. Here is our round-up of starry design collaborations of 2024.
